RWC 2011 - Pool A - NZ, Tonga, France, Japan, Canada

[Donsteppa]

Kaino the man of the match, the standout AB forward of the tournament so far.

I had to go do Uni work at half-time, can someone tell me how bad Slade's injury looked?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The irresistable force meets the immovable object. Kleeberger vs Myth Headclash. Whiskers looks to be in a bit of trouble and has come off 2nd best. Myth was not too good either.

Hope Whiskers recovers but looked very nasty. 7 minutes to go.

Myth replaced by Franks. NZRT Front row is now Footy Franks, and Gimli Hore.

Update:
Try to Darkness: Guildford's Quadrella. Chases and recovers a kick from Both Ends Wee Poo, 50 metre run. Both Ends adds the extras.

72 - 15 Darkness. 77 minutes gone.

 

[No4918]

He played on the wing for about 15 mins before coming off, Weepu went to 10. Looked more precautionary as he was moving ok. Dagg looks to be a bigger concern as he called to come off straight away.

 

[Donsteppa]

Guildford scores his fourth with a great run! The soft drinks are on him tonight...

I wonder if Guilford just played himself into a starting spot for the knock out phase? As a Wallabies supporter I hope so.

I'd say so, Guildford was brilliant. If he can repeat that performance it will be difficult to contain him, scary that they can replace the best winger in the tournament so far with a guy who can come on field and score 4 tries. Dagg out forces them to select him again next week, their back 3 will be strong: 11. Guildford, 14. Kahui, 15. Muliaina
